TUNNEL TO $30,000 A police official, left, shovels some dirt to enlarge opening to
a tunnel used by burglars over the weekend to enter vault of South Seattle bank, part

Percy Grainger Dies;
Famed Pianist, Composer
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. Ml In
an age of increasing musical dis
sonance, composer Percy Grain
ger had to be considered conservative.
Yet he was a free spirit, and he
displayed it with a colorful per
sonality, sometimes eccentric
manners, a flair for the dramatic
and a huge ihock of hair that
turned slowly from orange red to
white.
His death Monday in White
. Plains Hospital at the age of 78
robbed the musical scene of a
man who had once been one of
its liveliest members, a world
famous pianist and composer.
He had lived in semi-retirement
for years in this New York Citv
auburban community, whose resi
dents had grown accustomed to
aeeing their neighbor wheeling
nil luggage from the station in
wheelbarrow or carrying his gro
ceries In a knapsack.
His smaller compositions and
arrangements of English folk
tunes, such as "Country Gar
dens," "Molly on the Shore," and
Handel in the Strand," showed
originality. They had one char
acteristic they could be
whistled.
In 192S Grainger was married
to the Swedish painter and poet
Ella Viola Stroem before 22,000
persons in the Hollywood Bowl.
He was born in Melbourne, Au
stralia, July 8, 1882. After a suc
cessful career there as a child
prodigy he adopted Europe, Eng
land especially, as his own.
He came to the United States
in 1915, made a sensation at his
New York debut and subsequent
ly gave concerts all over the
world.
He joined the U.S. Army in
1917 and played the oboe and
saxophone. Two years later he
sealed the bond between himself
and the American people by be
coming a citizen. -
Probers Silent
On Jet Crash
BRUSSELS Wl A strict news
blackout has been imposed by the
U.S.-Belgian team investigating
the Feb. 15 crash of a Sabena
Belgian Airlines jet which cost
73 lives. The dead included the
18 members of a U. S. figure skat
ing team.
Official quarters declined to re
lease any information on the
progress of the inquiry, saying it
is too soon to disclose findings.
Hundreds of pieces of debris
from the crash scene north of
Brussels are being labeled and
stored in a hangar at the Mels-
broeck military airfield. ,
The French daily L'Aurore sug
gested that the accident might
have been caused by a passenger
running amuck with a subma
chine gun.
"This is highly unlikely, and
belongs more to the style of a
novel than to present-day condi
tion of international travel with
severe luggage checks by cus
toms," an airport official commented.
In keeping with tradition en this day, wa can not tell a lie. Our buyers have
blundered and we mutt face aur white elephants old friends who have
ever-stayed their welcome. To add spice to the day we include some genuine
treasures just waiting to be discovered by discriminating buyers.

THOMPSON'S RECORD MART
Jobless Benefits Tops Ledger
President Kennedy Lists 16 Priority Bills
WASHINGTON OB President
Kennedy Tuesday gave Demo
cratic congressional leaders a list
of 16 bills he wants to have pri
ority in the legislative program.
It is topped by extension of un
employment compensation.
The leaders said they promised
the President speedy action.
"I think now that we are going
to have full steam ahead," House
Speaker Sam Rayburn, D-Tex.,
told reporters after the breakfast
meeting of House and Senate
leaders at the White House.
The top measure on Kennedy's
program is already getting con
sideration in the House Ways and
Means Committee. This bill would
extend unemployment compensa
tion benefits for idle men whose
jobless pay had expired by last
October.
The next three items among the
President's proposals are addi
tional federal aid to the depend
ent children of unemployed fa
thers, improvements in Social
Security benefits and a $390-mil
lion bill for aid in redeveloping
depressed areas.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger said of matching
importance will be a general farm
message, proposed changes in for
mer President Dwight D. Eisen
hower's budget, and water and
natural resources legislation.
The other bills on the 16-point
list were:
The support and control pro
gram for feed grains, increasing
the $1 minimum wage, federal aid
to education, health care for the
aged under Social Security, aid
for college education, aid for
medical education and research,
federal support for expansion of
community health facilities, ex
tension of the Government Re
organization Act, ratification of
U.S. affiliation with the Organiza
tion for Economic Cooperation
and Development, creation of 59
new federal judgeships, establish
ment of an office of international
travel and easing of restrictions
on trade with Iron Curtain coun
Congressional movement was
developing on these major items:
Education In the House,
Speaker Sam Rayburn, D. Tex.
gave a go-ahead signal to the fed
eral aid to education program
the President sent to Congress
Monday.
Rayburn, who opposes federal
assistance for payment of teach
ers' salaries, said he would not
"resist" House consideraMon of a
measure containing both 'his pro
vision and federal aid for class
room construction.
Emergency unemployment
aid extension The House Ways
and Means Committee starts
closed door sessions aimed at get
ting a bill in shape for house
action late this week or early
next. A compromise on the fi
nancing reportedly smoothed the
way for agreement on benefit ex
tension up to 13 weeks.
Aid for depressed areas
Mansfield said he expects to
bring a bill for the aid of de
pressed areas before tbe Senate
next week.
Sen. Paul Douglas, D-IU., said
a banking subcommittee he heaJs
will wind up hearings on the
measure with testimony next
Tuesday from Secretary of Com
merce Luther H. Hodges, Sec
retary of Labor Arthur J. Gold
berg and Secretary of Agriculture
Orville L. Freeman.
A spokesman for the corre
sponding House committee said
hearings probably will start with
in a week.
e Social Security Introduced
Monday in the House was the
administration bill to provide op
tional Social Security retirement
for men at 62, higher minimum
and widows' payments and easing
of requirement for coming under
the old age insurance and dis
ability retirement provisions. The
cost would be an additional Vt
of 1 per cent tax on employer
and employe.
Kennedy has asked these chang
es be put into effect by April 1.
The Ways and Means Committee
planned to consider the bill after
finishing work on the unemploy
ment measure.
Minimum wage increase A
House labor subcommittee plans
to complete hearings this week on
the administration proposal to in
crease the mimimum by stages
from the present $1 to $1.25 an
hour and bring additional mil
lions of employes under wage
hour coverage.
Of the legislative measures Ken
nedy recommended for high pri
ority action, there has been least
progress so far with housing and
Social Security-supported health
care for the aged.
Democratic strategists appar
ently intend to defer action on
the medical bill in hopes of win
ning over enough Ways and
Means Committee members to
avoid the fatal setback similar
legislation met in that committee
last year.
Administration recommenda
tions for an over-all housing pro
gram still are being put together.
